Acknowledgment

This novel evolved from a concept and characters developed within the framework of the
collaborative THIEVES' WORLD anthologies edited by Robert Lynn Asprin. Without Bob's
support, patience and enthusiasm, this project would not have been possible. Lynn Abbey provided

before publication and made valuable suggestions. Lastly, to all my fellow TW authors, I extend my
heartfelt thanks: every writer who has entered the Sanctuary construct has enriched the whole.
